My IL 6 level is 23.1 pg/mL and CRP is 44 mg/L. It is the 18th day since the onset of my COVID 19 symptoms. My oxygen saturation is between 92 to 94 percent. Could you please advise on the next steps and whether I need urgent medical attention?

Raised IL 6 and CRP suggest inflammation. Oxygen levels less than 94 percent need medical attention. Consult for possible steroid or oxygen support. Do not delay.

Please help me interpret my hs CRP value, which is reported as 14.42 mg/L in my blood test. When I consulted my doctor, they mentioned that hs CRP can increase due to any type of inflammation in the body. I recently underwent an RCT and a tooth implant procedure. Should I repeat the test to reassess the hs CRP level, or is this elevation expected due to the recent dental treatments?

He has had a fever for the past 6 to 7 days, but it has not occurred in the last 2 days. However, he is now experiencing a burning sensation in his stomach. His blood test shows a CRP (Quantitative) level of 12. Please advise what this could indicate and what steps should be taken next.

My baby is having fever and when tested, the blood report showed a CRP level of around 28. I want to know what can be done so that it comes under 10, as under 10 is considered normal. Are there any fruits or vegetables my baby can eat? Or any syrup or tablet that can help bring it under control? Please advise.
